French Medical Center - Injections
 

Designed for both men and women, injections can be administered starting the age of 30-35. Injections treat wrinkles and fine lines, increase volume and relax the muscles.

Types of Fillers:

  1. Hyaluronic Acid: A viscoelastic polysaccharide available in human tissues used in its synthetic form, perfectly biodegradable and biocompatible.
    The effect is immediately visible and easily concealed with normal make-up (traces of injection points last only a couple of hours). Its slow absorption guarantees a lasting effect. It may last between 6 months to several years.

  2. Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Botox injections smoothens wrinkles, giving an immediate rejuvenation effect and a release of the muscles tension. Its effects remain transitory (6 months). The main objective of this treatment is to reduce wrinkles and fine lines at rest without inhibiting muscles movement. The result of the first session lasts between 3 to 6 months.
French Medical Center - Liposuction
Procedure:

  • Hospitalization: 1 day post-surgery

Liposuction allows to remove localized fat deposits. It is not a weight loss method nor a treatment for obesity.

Liposuction treats several body parts:

  1. Abdomen: A simple surgical procedure that leaves no scar, little pain, and allows fast resuming of activities coupled with laser lipolysis.

  2. Hips and Back: The result on the love handles is impressive and contours the waist. Laser lipolysis tightens the back’ skin where skin is thick.

  3. Thighs: Removing flabby thighs that do not disappear with diet or physical exercise. Association of liposuction and laser lipolysis will generate better skin tightening in case of sagging or rippling skin.

  4. Inner knees: Removing localized fat excess in the inner knee. It is a light procedure that can be done under local anesthesia in an ambulatory center.

  5. Arms: Treated by a simple liposuction, or by associating liposuction and laser lipolysis leading to better skin contouring.

  6. Buttocks: This procedure is interesting if the excess is concentrated on the upper and medium level, provided that it is not linked to a buttock ptosis.

  7. Neck: Neck liposuction can yield excellent results in case of isolated fat deposit, provided that it is not related to an important sagging skin.

Laser Lipolysis is a new technique to destroy fat cells and gain skin tightening. It does not replace liposuction but it is an alternative method to treat small fat deposits.
